On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a 60 MINUTES story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.

There will be no further comment from CBS News and Correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.

[begin op comment]

Knew something was going on when she was not on air from here in US after returning to CONUS.

This rumor has been working for a few days, and was all but confirmed by the lack of comment or denials from anyone at Black Rock or West 57th.

Some may say Logan has a checkered past, but nothing deserves this!

When 3 CBS engineers were killed by a perp years ago, Rather went into a (well deserved) on-air outrage. This time, there will probably be nothing, because, Lord knows, we don’t want to upset the “Arab Street.” Source with many years in SWA says many Muslims will approve of this, because, it was an infidel getting what she deserved.

When will the rest of America wake up?

If only state-run media would get swallowed-up by their creation.

Poor Lara thought she was in, like, Time Square on New Years Eve, only different.

I’m reminded once again of all the years CNN managed to remain in Bagdad as long as they reported favorably on Hussein.

What do they think is going to happen when they send a female into a mob like that? Especially a western female? Those lovely, religious muslim men and their manners...you’re a slut to them.

What’s that saying? A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged?

Let’s see how liberal and multicultural Lara is after this episode.

It is the kind of thuggery we can expect from people who are poorly equipped for democracy.

Lets vote to see who we attack next is the lowest form of democracy, and was warned against by Plato, and the founding fathers.

Same as Castro in Cuba.

At least she got out of there with her skin basically intact - it could have been a lot worse with those sub-simians. After having felt the groping paws of the 'Religion of Peace', I bet she comes out of the hospital a newly-minted conservative, if she wasn't one already.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I wonder if this reporter will “blame it on Bush” when she interviews with Oprah.
